HP Notebook Series Reference Guide

2–16 Reference Guide
Basic Operation
■ Put the notebook in Standby or shut it down before
transporting it. This turns off the hard drive. A drop of a few
inches onto a rigid surface while the hard drive is operating
could destroy data or damage the drive.
■ Carry the notebook in a padded case to protect against bumps
and jolts.
■ Set down the notebook gently.
To Maintain Your Notebook
■ Provide adequate ventilation around the notebook. Always
set the notebook on a flat surface, so that air can flow freely
around and underneath it.
■ Always shut down the notebook or put it in Hibernation mode
before putting it in a carrying case or other enclosed space.
■ Do not pick up or carry the notebook by its display.
■ Do not use the notebook outside in the rain or snow
(inclement weather). If the notebook is cold, warm it
gradually to avoid condensation.
■ Maintain your battery pack for best performance. See the
“Battery Packs and Power Management” chapter.
To Safeguard Your Data
■ Do not use a pointing device or activate any other device that
interrupts operation while the system is starting or stopping.
■ Back up your work regularly. Copy files to diskettes, CDs,
DVDs, and other media, or network drives.
■ Use a virus-scanning program (such as the Norton AntiVirus
program included with your notebook) to check your files
and operating system.
■ Check your disk using the Tools tab in the disk Properties
window.
